This started out as Canaan, Given to Abraham/Isacc/Jacob who changed his name to Israel

Israel renamed to Syria Palaestina

Then to

Palaestina

Late Roman Period II 135–220 CE

Romans join the province of Iudaea (comprising Samaria, Judea proper, and
Idumea) with Galilee to form new province of Syria Palaestina

In 135 CE, the victory in Bar Kokhba's revolt by Hadrian resulted in 580,000 Jews killed (according to Cassius Dio) and destabilization of the region's Jewish population. The Romans renamed the new territory Syria Palaestina to complete
the disassociation with Judaea.[6]Jerusalem is re-established as the Roman military colony of Aelia Capitolina; a largely unsuccessful attempt is made to prevent Jews from living there. Many Jews left the country altogether for the
Diaspora communities, and large numbers of prisoners of war are sold as slaves throughout the Empire.

The Romans destroyed the Jewish community of the Mother Church in Jerusalem, which had existed since the time
of Jesus[7] The line of Jewish bishops in Jerusalem, which is claimed to have started with Jesus's brother James the Righteous as its first bishop, ceased to exist, within the Empire. Hans Kung in "Islam :Past Present and Future", suggests that
the Jewish Christians sought refuge in Arabia and he quotes with approval C. Clemen, T. Andrae and H.H. Schraeder, p. 342 "This produces the
paradox of truly historic significance that while Jewish Christianity was swallowed up in the Christian church, it preserved
itself in Islam, and some of its most powerful impulses extend down to the present day".

In 63 B.C. the Roman general Pompeius ruled in the Near East. He too used the name Palaistine for the land of the Israelites. In 135 A.D. Publius Aelius
Hadrianus (Emperor of Rome from 117 to 138 A.D.) called Judea: Syria Palaestina. It is generaly accepted that Hadrian purposely called Canaan Palaestina to insult the Jews (and their God!). He was determined
to wipe out the identity of Israel-Judah-Judea. So he actually cut them off from their Biblical inheritance and national history.
In the same way Hadrian changed the name of rebuilt Jerusalem in Aelia Capitolina and on the Temple Mount he erected a pagan temple for the Roman god Jupiter Capitolinus!
The Romans have killed many Jews and have sold even more as slaves. Others abandoned Canaan, but never has there been a time
without Jews or Jewish communities in the land.

Roman Emperor who rename region to Palestine

The Middle East problems stem from what people percieve as the land belonging to the Palastine people but the land was
renamed by a Roman Emperor.

Abraham is the patriarch (at the age of 100) who had a son named Isacc who then had a son named Jacob that God changed
his name to Israel.

As I recall Mohammad also declared the God of Israel as giving the city of Jerusalem to the Jewish people, not the palaestine
people.

All this bloodshed is within the same family of Abraham!

Jordan is Palestine. Palestine is Jordan.

by Gary Fitleberg

Jordan is Palestine. Palestine is Jordan.This is the royal decree
and sentiments of two of the kings of Jordan.

“Palestine and Jordan are one…” said King Abdullah in 1948.

“The truth is that Jordan is Palestine and Palestine is Jordan,”said King Hussein of Jordan, in 1981.

Let’s closely examine the facts of history from the Arab perspective,
rather than the Jewish one, regarding Jordan and Palestine.

“Palestine is Jordan and Jordan is Palestine; there is only one land,
with one history and one and the same fate,” Prince Hassan of
the Jordanian National Assembly was quoted as saying on February 2, 1970.

Accordingly, Abdul Hamid Sharif, Prime Minister of Jordan declared, in 1980,
“The Palestinians and Jordanians do not belong to different nationalities. They hold the same Jordanian passports,
are Arabs and have the same Jordanian culture.”

In other words, Jordan is Palestine. Arab Palestine. There is absolutely no
difference between Jordan and Palestine, nor between Jordanians and Palestinians (all actually Arabs).

This fact is also confirmed by other Arabs, Jordanians and ‘Palestinans’
who were either rulers or scholars.

“There should be a kind of linkage because Jordanians and Palestinians
are considered by the PLO as one people,”according to Farouk
Kaddoumi, then head of the PLO Political Department, who gave the statement to Newsweek on March 14, 1977. Distinguished Arab-American
Princeton University historian Philip Hitti testified before the Anglo-American Committee,

“There is no such thing as ‘Palestine’ in history.”

According to Arab-American columnist Joseph Farah,

“Palestine has never existed – before or since – as an autonomous entity. It was ruled alternately
by Rome, by Islamic and Christian crusaders, by the Ottoman Empire, and briefly by the British after World War I. The British
agreed to restore at least part of the land to the Jewish people as their homeland. There was no language known as Palestinian.
There was no distinct Palestinian culture. There has never been a Palestine governed by the Palestinians. Palestinians are
Arabs, indistinguishable from Jordanians (another recent invention), Syrians, Lebanese, Iraqis, etc.”

These authoritative, honest statements are by Arabs, Jordanians and Palestinians,
and absolutely must be taken at their face value and word.All right, so you’re
not quite into quotes. How about these tasteful tidbits of historical facts?

* Jews, not Arabs, have lived continuously in the ancient Biblical Promised
Land of Israel, especially Judea and Samaria, for 3,700 years. This land was given as a gift by G-d to the Children of Israel
(Hebrews, Israelites, Jews) and is so stated in all of the three monotheistic religions’ holy books – Old Testament,
New Testament and Quran. Faithful followers of Judaism, Christianity and Islam all believe in the same one G-d and therefore
must believe the word of their G-d. G-d does not make and break his promises. There is a very valuable lesson to be learned
by all his children and faithful followers.* The current queen of Jordan is an Arab ‘Palestinian’.

* Approximately half of Jordan’s prime ministers since 1950 have been
Arab ‘Palestinians’.

* More than 2/3 of the Jordanian people are Arab ‘Palestinians’.

* The majority of citizens residing in the capital of Amman are Arab ‘Palestinians’.

* Arab ‘Palestinians’ constitute not less than one half of the
members of the armed forces, according to the late King Hussein, as broadcast on Amman Radio February 3, 1973.

* The majority of other security forces are Arab ‘Palestinians’.

* Jordan occupies 77% of the original Palestine Mandate (originally promised
to the Jewish people). The population density of Jordan is less than 61 people per square mile leaving lots of room to absorb
many more of their brethren and cousins.

Want to delve even deeper? Let’s explore further. We all need to refresh
our memory, as ‘short-term syndrome’ has taken over. Now for a little history lesson, for those who do not recall
the reality of the past.The British tried to placate the Arabs by giving them part of
the land designated under the Palestine Mandate (originally allocated under the Balfour Declaration for the establishment
of a Jewish homeland). Britain created an entirely new province by severing 77% of historic Palestine (and an additional 3%
was also allocated to Syria), on the eastern bank of the Jordan River (some 35,000 square miles), and establishing the state
of Transjordan.

Faisal, who had been King of Syria, was deposed by the French, so the British
offered him the throne of Iraq, which he accepted. Faisal’s brother Abdullah was installed as the new nation of Transjordan’s
ruler on April 1, 1921 (April Fool’s Day), thereby completing the appeasement of Arab rulers.

During the Arab-Israeli war of 1948, in which nine Arab nations attacked Israel,
they took control of the ancient biblical territories of Judea and Samaria (Jewish territory, which was “occupied”
for nineteen years until 1967, when it was liberated and reconquered in yet another defensive war).

On April 24, 1950, Abdullah formally merged all of Arab-held Palestine with
Transjordan and granted citizenship to all Arab residents and settlers (the vast majority of whom arrived the 1920s for economic
reasons).

The Hashemite Kingdom was no longer only across the river so the prefix “Trans”
(meaning “across”) was dropped, and henceforth, the land became known as Jordan; i.e., Arab Palestine.

Remember, Jordan is Palestine. Arab Palestine.

Don’t take my word for it. Listen to King Abdullah, King Hussein, Prince
Hassan, Farouk Kaddoumi, Phillip Hitti and Joseph Farah, Arab, Jordanian and Palestinian authorities on the subject; and listen
to the historical facts, as well.
